John Davies: The British Landscape (signed copy)

The British Landscape by John Davies. ISBN 0-9546894-7-X. Hardback, 112pp, 40 x 28cm. Published by Chris Boot in association with Archive of Modern Conflict 2006

Edited from 25 years of work (1979–2005), The British Landscape is a collation of John Davies’s revealing landscapes. Rich in detail and narrative, and contrasting scenes of nature apparently untouched by humans with tracts of land that have been scoured and pillaged and yet endure, his sweeping images – often taken from a high vantage point – reveal how a seemingly permanent and prosperous society can swiftly decline, leaving only rapidly fading traces of its existence.
